Back in September 2025, I posted about receiving notice from Yahoo that they were apparently reducing the amount of space granted to Yahoo Mail user mailboxes from 1 terabyte to 20 gigabytes. (In hindsight, I now realize that this specific new limit might be US-specific.) While a lot of email senders were concerned about this change, wondering if it will result in more bounces due to full mailboxes; things did seem to work out find. The world, as it turned out, did not end.
Fast forward to now ... or at least, to a few weeks ago, when Simon Harper (publisher of the great All About Email newsletter) posted that he had received notice in his own (UK-based) Yahoo mailbox that overall space allocated for his account would be reduced to 15 gigabytes.
As he notes in his Linkedin post, he came to learn that this wasn't a new or additional reduction of available storage; it was clarified to him that this was just a part of the ongoing rollout of storage space adjustment across the global Yahoo Mail ecosystem.
TL;DR? Yahoo isn't yet again reducing available storage for Yahoo Mail mailboxes -- but part of the originally announced storage adjustments may still be rolling out, and these new storage limits may vary by different geographics regions or countries.
